Almost Time to Go Back to Reality

I have one more week of maternity leave, then it's back to work, back to reality. For a long time I was ready and anxious to get back to work. But now with just one week to go, it's really setting in that I won't be spending as much time with Ford, and that makes me sad. I know he'll be in good hands at daycare, and I think he'll like it, but I will certainly miss being with him.

Sweetness

Visiting David at work. I'm trying to get an internship for Ford. ;)

Having fun with our visitors. Corwin likes to give Ford kisses.

Reading a book before bedtime. Ford seems to like his room and his big bed. He's been sleeping through the night since we moved him into his room two weeks ago. Let's hope the trend continues!

Enjoying the beautiful weather!

Kirk and Laura babysat one night so David and I could go on a date. Looks like Kirk had his hands full. ha

Grilling out in March. Who would've thunk it.

Before I head back to work, we made one more trip to Kentucky for a week. The weather was gorgeous, so we were able to get out and about a bit more. But, mostly, we sat around the house and watched the boys play with Ford.

Talk, talk, talk

Video chat with David. Ford loved to see his Daddy on the phone!

Play time with cousins.

Then my mom and "other mom" Beverly came up to Indy for a visit. We went shopping two days in a row, and Ford was a real trooper -- no crying. Shopping really tired him out though, and he was out like a light as soon as we got home. It was so great to have some girl time and get out of the house to enjoy the weather.

Watching college basketball but wishing it was football season. (Cutest Packers fan EVER)
